Four necessary steps for building a digital factory

How to build a good digital factory management system , Not only does it need to have an adequate budget , More scientific planning and Design , Generally do a good job in digital construction , The following steps must be followed ：

Many factories will purchase many independent information systems , Such as CRM（ Customer relationship management system ）、PLM（ Product life management system ）、ERP（ Enterprise resource plan ）、HR（ human resources ）、QMS（ Quality management system ）、OA（ Office automation ） etc. , But because the top-level design is not done well , Poor system integration , And software selection 、 Online procedures are unscientific , Cause a lot of money 、 Waste of time and human resources .

therefore , We should do a good job in the construction of digital chemical plants , We must do a good job in the planning and design of informatization , Include at least the following ：

1、 The future of information systems 3-5 The overall direction and objectives of the year （ Match the company's strategy ）.

2、 The overall design of the hardware system , Including network architecture 、 Network security 、 The overall design of the storage system .

3、 Overall design of software system and subsystem 、 Subsystem supplier requirements and online logical sequence .

second ： Good launch ERP This data platform

Achieve business - Financial integration ERP, It is also the standard cost 、 actual cost 、 receivable / To cope with 、 The only choice for inventory accounting and general ledger , It is an information system that cannot be evaded .

therefore ,ERP Is the foundation of all information systems , Is the inevitable foundation , You have to do well , Do a solid job .

Third ： Choose a professional MES System

stay ERP On the basis of , Choose a professional MES The system becomes the key .MES The characteristics of the industry are quite obvious , Such as machining industry , Focus on the management of processing process , Process report 、 property master 、 WIP management is the key . The electronic materials of the electronic industry are foolproof 、 Complete set of materials is the key . Data tracing of auto parts industry （ batch 、 Pieces of ） Is the core , Different industries need different MES Solution , and MES The suppliers are also different ： Auto background 、 Data collection and material network 、ERP Software manufacturer 、 Lean production consultant transformation, etc , Different suppliers 、 Different industries face different customers .

Fourth ： Be sure to go to APS And choose the right supplier

current MES Software , Generally, it does not include two MES Core functions ： Detailed scheduling 、 Operation work order assignment , But these two functions are the key to the operation of the plant ： Determine the optimal release of the operation work order , Achieve customer delivery satisfaction and internal effective output 、 Maximize resource efficiency .

 “ Detailed scheduling ”、“ Operation work order assignment ” The function of has more professional APS Advanced planning and scheduling software implementation , therefore , In general ERP、MES After the launch , High complexity 、 Highly variable factory business scenarios , There must be APS Implementation and launch of advanced planning and scheduling , Only in this way can we achieve ERP and MES The effective function of .
